I like the dystopian worlds created in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World and in George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, but Orwell's allegorical work Animal Farm is also one of my favorites.

Well, Tolkien encoded a lot of massages into his works, using Medieval symbolism of Europe. That's an epic and very beautifully masterpiece, inherent in the classical literature by a British gentleman. That's a great book, overwhelmed with a pure nobility.
The Tolkien's hero is a chevalier sans peur et sans reproche.
On the other hand, there is severe life in the books by Zelazny/ Sapkowski, that is a serious fantasy. The romantic knights turn cynical playboys, fair princesses turn depraved loose women and effulgent Camelot becomes a gray and merciless Big Apple.
Tolkien creates cloud castles, while Zelazny and Sapkowski ruin them.

''Call of the wild'' by Jack London.
Also ''Tom Sawyer'' isn't far behind.

This was a classic. I read it when I was 11 or 12, years before I ever saw the movie. The book is cool compared to the movie because it describes the mental patients hallucinations and freak outs and so on like vivid acid trips. Well, I guess that would be cool to an 11 or 12 year old.
I read this when I was probably 7-9. Id, Ego and Super-ego It was my favorite for a long time when I was little. I saw both the movies afterwards and liked them.
Also Call of the Wild. That was a classic as well. I had a fancy illustrated version of that book as well as well as Moby Dick when I was just a kid (never finished Moby Dick).
